I’ve treated over 1,000 people with neck, low back, and shoulder pain.
Many of them were limited by one common problem, poor thoracic mobility.
Here are 6 simple exercises I often used and you can do to alleviate pain and improve your posture: 1) Cobra/Prone Press Up
This position is great for resetting the spine after lots of sitting.
To do the exercise:

• Don’t worry about speed
• Repeat 10-15 times
• Breath deeply
